tazzieman Posted 30July, 2014 Report Share Posted 30July, 2014 It's in a sterile looking museumy place. It's still very hard to stare at that car for any longer than 5 seconds. I need to quickly get in the shark and go for a drive to calm my nerves. Ltr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV911 Posted 30July, 2014 Report Share Posted 30July, 2014 Back to the game? .... Whatever it is, it is hillarious. Is it Indian? Actually no, indian cars are getting ok. Somewhere more obscure like Tajikistan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV911 Posted 30July, 2014 Report Share Posted 30July, 2014 Ok, I have a good one. Not a car but somehow related to cars. I see these strips of metal on the road all the time. Most often at CBD intersections, although it could just that I notice them more while I'm waiting at the lights to cross. They must be ferrous as they tend to rust and they are approx 200mm x 4mm x 1mm. I'm not sure if this is just a Sydney thing but it has been doing my head in for months. WTF are they??

Harvs11 Posted 31July, 2014 Report Share Posted 31July, 2014 review at the time "We're glad to see that this vehicle never saw the light of day. It seems to violate everything that Porsche has ever stood for and is frankly confusing that it was ever considered at all." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JV911 Posted 31July, 2014 Report Share Posted 31July, 2014 Spring steel hubcap retainer? hmm don't think so, they are usually curved wire rahter than straight and flat, and these are far too numerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old style wiper blade offcut, maybe truck size?? I recall you used to be able to cut them down to fit and they had a metal support for the rubber. 200mm sounds a bit too long though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 31July, 2014 Report Share Posted 31July, 2014 Porsche C88 China Car ? In the end they just setup semi state industries, pulled apart existing designs and copied them. The hardest part for China was getting semi-literate armies of factory workers into car workers. But like anything else china, they just throw manpower at the problem and now they are pumping out the Cherys and BYDs and Great Walls like nobody's business.
